239: Junior is not that kind of person

After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Xiu, Han Yue poured one for herself, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at him, "Junior Brother, why are you suddenly going to Burning Flame Valley?"

"To borrow fire."

Lin Xiu replied with a smile.

"Borrow fire?"

Han Yue didn't quite understand.

Lin Xiu explained, "There's a type of Heavenly Flame in Burning Flame Valley called the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. I need to use it to refine something."

"Is that thing very important to you?"

Hearing his plan, Han Yue showed some surprise.

The Han Family and Burning Flame Valley are not in the same place, but Burning Flame Valley is very famous in the Central Plains. Some things don't need to be inquired about to be heard.

According to what she knew, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was Burning Flame Valley's most precious treasure, and historically, only the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley could use it.

"Yes."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"Junior Brother, have you thought of a way? No one lends out Heavenly Flames casually, and Burning Flame Valley is much stronger than Yunlan Sect."

Han Yue's eyes held worry. Fighting and killing wouldn't work in Burning Flame Valley, and the academy's reputation also had no deterrent in the Central Plains.

"I have my own judgment."

Lin Xiu replied.

Han Yue knew Lin Xiu very well and understood that he wouldn't do anything reckless. Seeing that Lin Xiu was confident, she didn't say anything more about it.

At this moment, a hurried and messy sound of footsteps came.

A figure flashed through the doorway, and Han Xue walked in angrily. After seeing the two, she sat down by the table.

"Xue'er, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Han Yue poured a cup of water and pushed it in front of her sister.

"It's the Hong Family again! Does that Hong Chen really think he's reached the heavens in one step just because he became an inner Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?! How could he even make such a demand?!"

Han Xue seemed to be fuming. She spoke while banging on the table.

"What did he say?"

Han Yue was seeing her sister this angry for the first time and was even more curious.

"He said, he said..."

Han Xue opened her mouth, seeming a bit embarrassed to speak, her gaze repeatedly sweeping towards Lin Xiu.

"He wants both of you to marry him, right?"

Lin Xiu spoke first.

"Junior Brother..."

Han Yue felt that Lin Xiu was causing trouble. The Hong Family coveted the Han Family's territory, but they wouldn't make such a ridiculous demand.

But Han Xue's expression froze. She stood still, staring blankly at Lin Xiu, "How did you know?"

"Ah?!"

Han Yue was interrupted by her sister and was somewhat stunned. Did the Hong Family really make such a demand?

"Just a guess."

Lin Xiu picked up his water cup, took a sip, and chuckled softly.

"Xue'er, did the Hong Family really say that?"

Han Yue still couldn't quite believe it.

"It's true, Big Sister. Father was there at the time. He was furious at Hong Chen's shameless behavior. Relying on becoming an inner Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Hong Chen declared that he would set up a challenge arena on the city's rooftop three days later. If anyone from our Han Family's generation could defeat him, their Hong Family wouldn't trouble us for the next ten years. But if we lost, you and I would have to marry him."

It seemed that just mentioning this matter brought back the image of Hong Chen's face when he spoke. Han Xue frowned tightly, seething with anger.

"Junior Brother, please rest here first. I'll come over later."

Han Yue showed a hint of apology.

Watching their backs disappear outside the door, Lin Xiu sighed inwardly, feeling that his butterfly effect was still too weak, and the wind he stirred hadn't changed the world's progress much.

"That Hong Chen seems to be the most outstanding person of his generation in Tianbei City. With his demands, the only one from the Han Family who can fight is Han Yue, but she probably isn't his match."

Lin Xiu remembered this incident. At that time, Xiao Yan was the one who resolved it, and Xiao Yan's Cultivation of Three Thousand Lightning Movement was also exposed during this incident, leading to him being hunted down.

The two sisters returned to the front hall and immediately saw the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, looking worried.

"Father."

Hearing the sound, Han Chi looked up, his gaze sweeping over his younger daughter.

"You already know?"

He looked at Han Yue, who nodded.

"Hong Chen, relying on his identity as an inner Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, is arrogant and truly excessive."

Han Chi slammed the table heavily, extremely angry. The Han Family had never had an example of two daughters serving one husband. A ruthless look flashed across his face, "Yue'er, don't worry. I'll find someone to deal with him secretly these two days."

He's already so arrogant as a Dou Huang. If he continues to grow, the destruction of the Han Family will be imminent.

"Father, no."

Hearing this, both Han Yue and Han Xue were startled.

Han Yue said, "The Hong Family might have an Elder from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion there right now. If we act rashly, we'll only fall into a disadvantage."

"But if we don't deal with him, what about the challenge arena three days later?"

Han Chi looked distressed.

"How about I go?"

Han Yue thought for a moment and suggested.

"Yue'er, do you... have confidence?"

Han Chi naturally understood his daughter's strength. Although she was also very outstanding, there was still some gap between her and Hong Chen.

That kid could become an inner Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so he must have some remarkable qualities.

"No."

Sighing, Han Yue answered truthfully. Her jade hands clenched, "Father, the Hong Family is just looking for an excuse to push us to a dead end. If we can win this time, then at least we'll have a little breathing room."

Han Chi sighed, "Yes, at this point, we can only try our best."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Han Xue interrupted the two. She stared at Han Yue, "Big Sister, aren't you forgetting someone? Brother Lin Xiu is here; you can ask him to help."

"Lin Xiu, Yue'er, who is he?"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Han Chi was stunned.

"He's my Junior Brother from Canaan Academy."

Han Yue replied.

"Junior Brother?"

Han Chi repeated, looking at his younger daughter, "Xue'er, don't mess around here. What can your sister's Junior Brother do to change things if he helps?"

"Father, you can only say that to me; don't let Lin Xiu hear it. Brother Lin Xiu is amazing. Xia Mang from Ten Thousand Snakes Gorge was blown away by one punch from him."

Han Xue first glanced outside the room, and seeing no one, she lowered her voice and explained in a serious tone.

"What? The demon snake Xia Mang couldn't even withstand one of his punches?"

Suddenly, Han Chi couldn't sit still. In all of Tianbei City, who didn't know that Xia Mang was notoriously slippery? Previously, several Dou Huangs had teamed up to encircle him, but they couldn't do anything to him. Now he had died without a sound.

"Father, Xue'er isn't lying."

Han Yue felt the gaze on her and nodded, "Before I left the academy, Lin Xiu was already an Elder of the academy. A One-Star Dou Huang could contend against a Half-Step Dou Zong."

"Then what are we waiting for, Yue'er? Go and invite him. As long as he's willing to help, what does Hong Chen matter?"

Han Chi swept away his previous gloom, his expression excited.

"I'll go talk to him first."

Han Yue stopped her father.

"Alright, you're classmates, so it's more convenient."

Hearing this, Han Chi sat back down in his chair, looking much more relaxed than before.

"Big Sister, I know you're interested in him. Be bold and tell him. You can even offer yourself to him, understand? This is a good opportunity. If he's not satisfied with one, add me too. For the Family, I can sacrifice myself."

Han Xue leaned into her ear and whispered.

Then she was pushed away by Han Yue.

"Stop messing around. Junior Brother isn't that kind of person."

Han Yue glared at her, feeling a little nervous, and walked towards the small courtyard.

She wasn't sure if Lin Xiu would agree. This involved Hong Chen's identity as a Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Offending the Hong Family meant offending the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

However, after she finished speaking, Lin Xiu agreed without even thinking.
